They giggled and then went back to what they were doing. I just stared at them and then shook my head disapprovingly. They had absolutely no respect whatsoever! How dare they act that way in front of Roman. I mean, he was my husband after all. If anyone should have the right to act that way around us, it should be them. Especially when I wasn't with him!After walking into the classroom, we went over to our table and then sat down. We waited for our classmates to arrive. Soon enough, almost everybody started arriving. Some came late, while others arrived earlier. Everyone had different reactions. Some of them seemed excited while others didn't even bother to show up."Where were you guys yesterday?" I heard someone ask the girls seated at our table.They glanced over at her and then whispered something. I couldn't make out what they were whispering but soon enough the whispering became louder and then I recognized their voices. They were all talking about how they had met and then
"Stop!" I shouted, breaking out of his hold.The smile immediately disappeared from Roman's face. The next second he glared at me angrily. I could see hurt and anger in his green eyes."Get away from me!" I screamed hysterically.Roman then quickly got up and stormed out of the classroom, slamming the door shut behind him. Suddenly I burst into tears. My heart was racing and I could feel my body trembling. I was devastated. I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I thought everything was going well between us, but I guess it had not worked out as planned. He just kept lying to me and acting like he loved me. How could I have been so stupid?! I was too blinded by his charm that I didn't see his true nature. He wasn't just a normal guy. Sure he was very kind and caring and extremely intelligent, but underneath the surface, he was just an arrogant, narcissistic prick!But then again, I had also lied to him. After all, it is hard to keep secrets from somebody when they're always
When I opened my eyes again, I looked down and stared at the ground. I watched some of the leaves of the trees rustle as the wind rushed through them. Then another gust of wind suddenly rushed past me and lifted the hair from my forehead. The hair felt cold and damp, almost wet. Another gust of wind blew past and it was blowing directly at me. The hair that was previously covering my forehead flew into my face and I reached up and tried to push them back, but they refused to leave. I was beginning to panic as a shiver ran down my spine. I began shaking uncontrollably as more gusts of wind blew against me and made it feel like I was being blown off the balcony. Then I heard a loud bang and I fell onto the floor and everything went black.When I woke up the sun was shining brightly into my bedroom. At first I was confused, wondering where I was, until I realized that I was at Mr. Drew's house, lying on the sofa in his living room. I jumped up, trying to figure out where I was, but I
"You mean like a couple..." he said with a smile."Yes. Like a couple," I said and then laughed. "I know that's pretty silly of me to say, but sometimes I get really embarrassed when people call us a couple. You know?""It's understandable. Most of us have been married at least once before," he commented."Yeah and it's never fun," I replied, chuckling. "Especially when we end up dating each other. It's almost like we're in a relationship with each other when we're not. Well, unless we decide to break it off, of course.""Of course," he replied and smirked."You know, that's the first time you ever answered a question without giving me an answer. Usually you just ignore me," I stated."Why do you want to know anyway?" he asked."Because I think I deserve a little explanation. I don't remember ever seeing you like this before. What's wrong with you?""Nothing, not really. Don't worry about it. There is nothing wrong with me," he said and smiled at me.I smiled back."Ok. If you say so,
"It' nothing important. I mean, we just talked about school and stuff," I replied as I looked at my hands. "Anyway, I have to go. I promised Roman that we would meet at my place early and I don't want to be late.""Alright, I'll see you at lunch. Bye, Hope! See ya!""Bye," I said and waved goodbye to her before quickly leaving my bedroom.As I left the apartment, I headed toward the elevator. Once inside, I pressed the button marked to go to the ground floor and then waited patiently. I hoped that Roman wouldn't be too impatient and wait a long time for me to show up. As soon as the elevator door opened, I saw Roman sitting on the couch with his guitar leaning against his leg. His dark hair was messy and he was wearing blue jeans, a yellow shirt, black Converse sneakers and a black leather jacket. It looked like he hadn't shaved in several hours. He smiled at me when he saw me walking over to him."Hi," I said nervously."Hi," he replied with an amused smile. "What took you so long
"Hey," I repeated as we started to walk to the car park.I unlocked the passenger door of his car. He pushed me gently against the car as he kissed my forehead. I giggled quietly as I closed my eyes as I heard his soft voice."Ready?" he asked me after he pulled away."Yep," I answered as he opened the door for me and got in himself. After starting the engine, I glanced at him and noticed that he was fidgeting uncomfortably with the hem of his shirt. He seemed nervous. I furrowed my eyebrows and decided to try and help him relax, so I rested my hand on his thigh. I could feel his muscles tense underneath my hand. I squeezed his thigh softly, smiling reassuringly as I stroked my thumb gently over his skin. After a few seconds of silence, he smiled at me before reaching out to grab my free hand, holding it tightly. We both started laughing quietly and I couldn't keep the smile off my face.Once we reached the mall, I sat beside Roman and watched as he shopped for a new wardrobe for m
"You have to come here," he told her, "right now!"His tone of voice indicated that he was afraid for her safety, and although I couldn't quite understand why, my curiosity grew. Without saying anything else, he hung up the phone and gazed deeply into my eyes. Suddenly, he leaned in and planted his lips firmly on mine. My eyes widened and I froze in shock, not knowing what to do. Before I knew what was happening, Roman's lips moved against mine, slowly sliding against each other. I slowly started to respond to him, closing my eyes and wrapping my arms around his neck, allowing him to deepen the kiss. Soon, it felt like time stood still as he slid his tongue inside my mouth and moaned softly as he started kissing me harder and deeper. I felt myself melting beneath him as he slipped his hand under my blouse, caressing the curve of my waist, sending waves of pleasure down my spine.Roman pulled away from me a little and rested his forehead on mine, his eyes closed. When I opened my eye
"Hey guys! What brings you here?" Carla greeted us, waving enthusiastically at us."We came here to pick up Roman," I said."Really? That's cool. Where is he?"She looked genuinely shocked when I told her about Roman's situation."I hope he feels better soon!""Thanks," I said.As we watched her drive off, Roman and I headed towards the elevator. Once we had gotten inside, he pressed the button for the first floor. Once we reached the fifth floor, Roman asked me to hang on to him while he used his key card to open the door. Once we entered the apartment, he locked the door behind us and switched on the lights.He led me to the couch, sat down next to me and took one of my hands in his, gently stroking my fingers with his thumb. Then, he began explaining what had happened the previous day."The manager found me when she came to check on me," he explained. "Apparently, I was unconscious on the ground when she arrived and didn't wake up until she called the police.""So you were beaten
